Reposting because it looks like federation failed.

I was just reading about it, it sounds like a pretty cool OS and package manager. Has anyone actually used it?

    guix pull - system reconfigure - reboot process took about three to four hours each time,

    That’s exceptionally long. Could it be that you were building every tool from scratch, and weren’t using any binary servers?

      I’m pretty sure I was set up for substitutes, but this was a while ago.

      I did end up replacing my router a few months after that, so it may have just been that my connection was very slow.

      Also, every time I tried it and it didn’t work, I had to do a full Pop Os install in order for myguix install media to start working again, which added a few minutes to the process.
